Nanometrix Selected for SEMICON® West Technology Innovation Showcase

The event will show the nanotechnology company's impact on the semiconductor industry.

Being selected to participate in the Innovation Showcase demonstrates the semiconductor industry's understanding of the solutions that Nanometrix Ultra Thin Film nanotechnology can provide to some of its most pressing problems. We are pleased to have this opportunity to interact directly with a broad audience of decision makers in this key market for our product.

Montreal, Quebec (NSTI) June 8, 2005 -- Global trade association Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) has selected nanotechnology manufacturer Nanometrix to present its ultra-thin film equipment at the third annual Technology Innovation Showcase. Nanometrix is one of 23 companies selected to present at the exclusive event, which will be held July 11 – 15th in conjunction with the SEMICON West 2005 Tradeshow in San Francisco.

SEMI created the Technology Innovation Showcase to highlight breakthrough technologies that are expected to significantly impact the semiconductor industry. Participating companies will have booth space and will also give a 20-minute presentation. During the four-day-long event, Nanometrix will showcase how the company's ultra-thin film, the MG-1 deposition system, can apply photoresist and other polymer material down to 1.5nm in thickness with atomic smoothness (0.1nm), enabling the production of next generation advanced semiconductor devices.

Nanometrix CEO Patrick O'Connor said, "Being selected to participate in the Innovation Showcase demonstrates the semiconductor industry's understanding of the solutions that Nanometrix Ultra Thin Film nanotechnology can provide to some of its most pressing problems.
